Article Of The Day 1.1 – Now letting you view older articles

The latest version of my Article Of The Day Android app is available on the Market, and now has the options to browse older articles, besides having a shiny new icon!

My initial thoughts on Google+

My rants and praises regarding Google’s new adventure through the social networking world, updated on the go.

  • Like Google’s new look, is sleek and sexy (specially GMail’s newest themes), regarding Google+ everything is uncluttered. Pretty much the way I like a web design.
  • Can’t find a way to import external sources (big no, no).
  • Android app is sexy! The photo above is the app’s dashboard.
  • Still trying to find out how Sparks, Huddles and Hangouts will work for me.
  • I already have groups on Google Contacts, why can’t I somehow sync or import them to my Circles?
  • Still no stupid games (Farmville and such) or quizzes. Yet… Like Scoble pointed out “average users” will only start to use it much later.
  • It tends to flood your Gmail Inbox, just like Buzz did, must turn off some checkboxes.

Sent from my iPhone/Droid/BlackBerry/(…)

People are  disliking the “Sent from my iPhone/Droid/BlackBerry/put-mobile-device-here”, myself included, because they’re obnoxious and have no real use. And the truth is when you read it the real meaning to what the sender is saying is either:

  1. Hey, I got a brand new iPhone/Droid/BlackBerry/put-mobile-device-here!! (this is the default from most device manufacturers)
  2. You’re not important enough for me to write a proper response to your email

So what’s yours?

Augmented Reality with the Metro Paris Subway App

The Metro Paris Subway  iPhone application must be one of the coolest uses of augmented reality I’ve seen. Next time I’ll go to there I’ll must try out (assuming the problems with Android version are solved).

A “non geeky” review of Google Maps Navigation for Android

You probably have read a lot of things about about the new feature released in Google Android 2.0Google Maps Navigation, a free turn-by-turn navigation system for Android mobile devices (also refered as standalone GPS terminal killer). And probably you have read it in a technology or gadget news source, but it’s about time to ear it from an unbiased source, or at least one that doesn’t care about Google’s “cool factor” and won’t evaluate the “geeky” aspects of the device. Fortunately the guys at AutoBlog have came to the rescue and provided a different perspective:
